I'm in the process of restoring a power seat track.
Not sure of the exact year, but, it's the '66-'72 style.
It's just a basic 2-function track-raise/lower and forward/back,
so it has a double solenoid in the transmission.
I was disassembling the transmission to check it out, clean and relube it
when I discovered one of the coils was cooked.
Does anyone have one to sell or recommendations for someone who rewinds these?
I suspect that several different years used the same basic coil.
I can probably rewind it myself, but, it will probably be a PITA.
Thanks in advance for any help.

 

There's a guy in Philadelphia that restores solenoids and motors that advertises in Hemmings.

I don't know where you would buy just the solenoid, maybe if it has a maker's name or part number on it you could possibly find out or match it up with one if it's a common part.
Try posting in parts wanted and maybe somebody here has a working transmission or one for parts, normally those stay with the power seat track set-up and are hard to get by themselves but you never know.

 

I would try the wrecking yard approach as I am sure they were used throughout the GM lineup

 

Thanks for the replies, guys.
I also think the same basic style transmission with the same solenoids
was used in most of the GM power seats for many years,
just more solenoids for more functions.
The junk yards I'm familiar with in this area have scrapped out all their older stuff,
which kinda kills that option.
Thanks for the link, BlueVista. I'll try that guy.
I looked for you at Alliance.
Found your car, but, no "warm bodies" around it.
